My cold weather Rustoleum epoxy was applied in the low 50's. At night it is now going slightly below 40F. When can I walk/drive on it?

You will have to make sure your iron stay below 150 C (302 F), or you could damage the Mylar. Note that the minimum steam setting of your iron is 100 C, so if you can use that temperature for your adhesive, you should be fine. Otherwise you will have to figure out a way of measuring the temperature of the iron, or just trying it on a test piece. A simpler thing to do would be to buy metalized buble wrap. A variety that I have used called Reflectrix Insulation model BP48050 has an R value that ranges from 7 to 3, depending on how you use it. It's pretty inexpensive and will save you a lot of time.

I have used it when the temperature was below 0C (32F) and above 32C. Same reading for the tongue weight on my empty Mission trailer, 331 pounds. The screen seems to get a little slower (1 second) responding when it is cold but the reading is the same as when it is warm.

I am assuming it's just a typo. Common sense tells you not to leave it outside if it's freezing. I live I Tx and it's been out year round.

That's a tough one. Most any oil will help in the slowing of rust however in this application you have the possibility of tire deterioration and vehicle paint to be concerned with. Have you tried contacting the manufacturer, Security Chain Company?

So far the coldest it has gotten where I live is low 50's and has stuck with no problems. I don't know about the winter yet, but don't foresee an issue.

Yes when it gets below 60 or so it solidifies. Just warm it up and it will be fine. Knowing this is over a year old, the info still applies.

I applied it when it was warm out - but it has done fine in the ice and snow. No peeling, etc.... Not sure about APPLYING it while cold. Don't THINK that should matter.... It sticks very well. Maybe just make sure you clean the surface well.

Hi Ron. I imagine that like any adhesive it would be better to apply these covers when the temperature is neither extremely hot or cold. I have had no issue with these staying on since I applied them, although the temperature range where I live only goes from about 50F (10C) up to 100F (35C). The covers look great & do there job protecting the duco. All the best, Bob.

Dries to walk on in 3 - 4 hours- depending on weather. We waited 4 days for furniture- no issues, but itwas pretty hot - in the 90's. Second coat went on after the 3-4 hour wait. Hope that helps. Stuff is HARDto apply. We needed 3 colors to get one that would work. Rust Oleum was useless when asked for help. Thestuff seems to work ok but it's also expensive. Billooltewah USA

I always lift my wipers in cold weather off the windshield until I am ready to drive. I have not had your problem as yet. But my fluid lines are attached to the wiper arm, so the hot fluid is sprayed across the glass with the wiper movement. Works pretty good for me. My Temps only go down to 0 rarely. Usually around +10 at night.

I don't know.....I will leave it in my vehicle during the day but bring it in at night...and it works fine. So I'm not sure the cold deration your referring toIts not always in the heat of the vehicle but maybe the time it is helps.

I was sealing brick steps to my front door last year. I put 2 coats on the steps. We had many weeks of ice, snow with temps in the lower single digits for 3 weeks at a time. This year it has been very hot and humid and these steps are in the hot sun until mid-afternoon. The product is still working since it is absorbed into the brick. Brick surface must be clean and dry before applying. I power washed my steps first and let them completely dry. My steps cover a very big area. You can try some and see if it will work on the brick you have!!! That's what I did and it worked for me!

I read reviews that encouraged buyers to paint it with rustoleum befor first use. I did this just to be sure it didnt rust as the product was exactly what I wanted. So I have had no problems with it and have had it since February.

We do not recommend applying decals in the cold. Temps between 60-80 degrees is best. The decal will stick fine to a plastic Rubbermaid mailbox in normal temperatures, though. To personalize, you will need to send us a message after you have purchased. There is no spot to personalize it during checkout. After checkout, go to Your Orders and find the Contact Seller link. Send us a message with your personalization details and your Order ID# will be linked to the message.

Any stick on product should be done over 50 degrees or whatever the manufacturer suggests - warmer temperatures create a better bond. Why risk having them fall off - wait a few weeks for warmer weather.

The temperature really does not play a factor in application. As long as the product can flow (can be applied evenly) you can use it. Temperature will impact how long it takes to cure. I, myself prefer to work in weather that is between 60 and 80 degrees. Have not seen any issues, and in direct sunlight the rubber cures within about 14 hours.
